A suncake, or taiyang bing, is a popular Taiwanese dessert originally from the city of Taichung, in central Taiwan.

The typical fillings consist of maltose (condensed malt sugar), and they are usually sold in special gift boxes as souvenirs for visitors.

The Lin family used condensed malt sugar as a filling for cake pastries.

Later, pastry maker Wei Qing-hai modified the cakes to their current form.

[1] Though not originally called "suncakes", they were given the name by the owner of "Sun Booth",[2] one of the most famous pastry shops that sells them.
